Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here on a Friday to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.

To mark the end of summer (sigh), I thought we could organize something a bit different this Sunday, 27 August.

We'll meet at 2pm in St. Patrick's Park, the beautiful park located beside St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin 8.

At 4pm, we'll organize a picnic next to the peace bell on the south-east side of the park. We will bring some snacks and blankets.

Feel free to bring anything you'd like to share and some seats, if you have any. There's also a coffee shop in the park called The Blossom Tree Café where you can grab a take-away coffee.

If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone who looks like a sketcher at 2pm, just choose something to draw and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc. A bunch of people who look like sketchers will magically appear. Hope to see you there! Dublin Sketchers

That was another rainy, cold Sunday. But, as you can see from the sketches below, rain didn't certainly stop our brave group! Thanks to everybody who made it and a big welcome to our new member Hyejin!
